5/10
Mercifully Concise

Great example of how a video can go "viral" and create a buzz worthy of any Hollywood satire.

Keeps the viewer interested by not revealing too much at once, hinting at more. Unfortunately, the reveal at the end is not that compelling. There's no grand mystery, no race against time, no whodunit, no mastermind. It's as dull as the folks who catapulted this dullard into internet sensation.

At the beginning there is the promise of a call from prison, but they never show it and that's a mistake. We want real interaction in the "now" to bring this documentary full circle, but we're denied. We want the "why" finally answered, but it eludes.

Saving grace, it's quite brief by Netflix standards.
